I apologize for bringing it back 'round to Halloween when it is clearly time to move on. But if you happen to still have candy in your bucket, feel free to pull some out while we focus on costumes for just one more post. Sorrrrry! So Wendy is a very lucky girl because she has … Continue reading McCalls 8251: Girl’s Dress (and Witch Costume)
How often do we pause to acknowledge the fact that our favorite bloggers and influencers have to create their seasonal content well in advance of the actual holiday/season? Like, the night before Halloween I'm sweating and resorting to shoddy workmanship to tie up all my loose ends while those influencers are probably kicking back thinking … Continue reading Star Wars Themed Family Halloween Costumes
I may do a more in depth post on costumes later but if not, Happy Halloween from Han Solo, Chewbacca, the Mandalorian, Rey, and Princess Leia!
I recognize this might not be the most exciting post but I don't care! I'm excited about it and I guess that's what matters since it's my blog haha. I rubbed off my very favorite RTW tee shirt and it turned out near perfectly! I know, I know! It's a tee shirt! Big whoop! But … Continue reading Rubbing Off My Favorite Tee
This is my first time making this pattern but I can tell you with full confidence that I will be making it again and again. It is a gem of a pattern! I've taken to asking, "Will it Mave?" to any fabric I come across and I'd say most of the time the answer is, … Continue reading A Mave Skirt

And I just got around to realizing that that was a pretty silly choice, so in an effort to rectify my misguidedness, I decided to go forth and make! I got going on … Continue reading New Look 6651: Casual Shirtdress
Meet the newest addition to the family: Appa! Now, I don' normally introduce you guys to every inanimate object that comes into my life, but Appa is bigger than 2/3rds of the living beings in our home and has a bigger head than anyone so introductions seemed appropriate. Plus, I made him! For the record, … Continue reading Yip! Yip! A Giant Appa Plushie
A few weeks ago I felt like I was getting a barrage of information that was making me feel all the things. It wasn't all bad but it did all just feel so HEAVY. And after awhile of slogging through some of these feelings, I realized that I'd totally avoided sewing anything during the thickest … Continue reading The Emotional Side of Sewing
Sorry for all the bottoms posts but that's what I've been seriously lacking in my wardrobe and as a result what I've been focusing on in my sewing lately. Pants and shorts all up in here. Maybe someday we'll return to other items...maybe. I was really wanting some shorts that fit into the magical realm … Continue reading Deer and Doe Goji Shorts…but Knee Length
If I had known that happiness could be attained in less than two hours, I would've made these shorts a lot sooner! As summer approached I took stock of my warm weather clothes-the ones that actually fit, mind you-and was sorely disappointed at my bottom half options. I had a pair or two of fitting … Continue reading Biker Short Leggings
